Recipient Stories

Pete’s journey began early, when his parents noticed signs that something wasn’t quite right. At two months old, he was diagnosed with microcephaly, leading to a series of complex diagnoses including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and cortical visual impairment.

Now nearly six, Pete is nonverbal, uses a G-tube, and continues working toward key milestones—all with incredible determination.

Despite ongoing challenges, Pete is joyful, resilient, and full of personality. He loves music, school, trucks, and water, and inspires everyone around him. His parents call him their “miracle boy.”
